The resistance of the induced defects ranged from 10 to 100 k Omega and varied with the local Fermi level, as determined by scanned-gate microscopy. By forming two closely spaced defects on metallic nanotubes, we defined quantum dots less than 100 nm in length. These devices exhibited single-electron charging behavior at temperatures up to similar to 165 K.en-USJournal Article2019-10-1110.1063/1.1377316
